Greenmons

First Appearance: Episode 5 "Secret of the
Miloganda"

Greenmons (グリーンモンスGurī-n Monsu) was a monster
that appeared in the Ultraman television series. The creature was
an animate plant that started out man-sized, but eventually grew to
giant-size. It was green, somewhat amorphous though roughly round,
and had a glowing yellow center. It emitted a low roaring sound. It
attacked by issuing a poison gas cloud from its glowing center,
possibly containing spores of some sort. Ultraman eventually
defeated it using his specium ray.

Story

Gyango's origin was one of the more peculiar. The monster
started as a semi-sentient meteor that fell to Earth, and was
discovered by several school children. The meteor had a symbiotic relationship with
sentient beings, attempting to take on the shape and function
desired by whoever contacted it or stood closest to it. The
children imagined a race car set, a birthday cake, and a piano. But
the meteor's form only persisted until a person's mind was
distracted, or focused on something else. Hoshino was among the
children, and decided it was best to turn the meteor over to Science Patrol Headquarters.

In a press conference, scientists explained the discovery to
members of the press, inviting one of them to test the meteor's
properties. The reporter imagined a beautiful bride, but as he
stepped to take the arm of the bride, the meteor reverted, and in a
gag moment, the reporter unwittingly took the arm of a man standing
nearby.

Observing all of this was a thief with criminal intentions. The thief
left a speaker under a desk in the room where the meteor was being
stored, and after everyone had left, he communicated to the meteor
from a microphone as he sat in his car in the parking lot.
(Apparently the meteor could comprehend English and respond to
verbal commands even if the person issuing the commands wasn't
present.) The thief instructed the stone to become liquid, and it
poured off of the table into a puddle. Then he instructed it to
become a rocket, to fly out the window to his location. The meteor
reverted, and the man began to make off with it, but he was spotted
by Arashi as he gunned his car
away. Arashi shot his repulsor gun to hit the button to close the
Science patrol gates. The thief's car was damaged, but the thief
got away.

In a hotel room later, the thief first came up with the idea of
forming a monster out of the meteor, and Gyango formed as a
man-sized monster. Gyango had a long colorful neck, hands shaped
like c-clamps, and ears that rotated. The thief used Gyango to
stage numerous pranks at the hotel. But he then thought to
terrorize the city with the monster growing to giant-size. However,
this caused damage to the hotel, and the thief was knocked
unconscious. Because the thief's last conscious thoughts were on
the giant-sized monster, it persisted. Ultraman appeared, and one
of the more comic fights of the series ensued. In the end, when the
thief was awakened in a hospital, Gyango ceased to exist. Hayata
later took the stone from Patrol HQ, stating he would ask Ultraman
to take the stone into space. Fuji attempted to follow him out but
the door closed on her and we then see Ultraman taking the stone
far into space.

Mummy Man

First Appearance: Episode 12 "Cry Of The
Mummy"

Dodongo

Dodongo appeared much like a Qilin, having four limbs for walking as well as a
pair of wings. Dodongo was placed in suspended animation in a sort
of symbiosis with an ancient mummified alien. The mummified alien,
once unearthed, was studied at a scientific facility. Perhaps the
mummy showed signs of life, because the scientists then
experimented upon it with doses of electricity. However, the mummy
showed no signs of re-animating. After most of the scientists had
left the facility for the day, the mummy telekinetically activated
the switch to bombard itself with more electricity, completing the
process of reviving itself. After the mummy attacked several people
with electrical bolts that it shot from its eyes, a group of
soldiers encircled the mummy and killed it. Once the mummy died,
Dodongo somehow sensed that its symbiosis with the mummy was
broken. Dodongo awoke, broke out of the mountainside where its
cavern lair had been, and began to create havoc on nearby
buildings. Ultraman appeared, and rather easily defeated
Dodongo.

Gamakujira

First Appearance: Episode 14 "The Pearl
Defense Directive"

Gamakujira (ガマクジラGamakujira) literally means "pearl-eater" in Japanese, and this
monster from the Ultraman
television series did exactly that. Gamakujira resembled a bloated
crocodile with eyes that
seemed to constantly peer skyward. His tongue was a hollow tube
with a suction cup funnel at the tip, designed to sweep up any mass
quantity of pearls the creature could find. Never ones to let a
creature stand in the way of economic prosperity, the Science
Patrol fought this creature as it terrorized the Japanese coast
searching for any source of pearls available. Eventually, the
creature was forcibly inflated with hydrogen, and was destroyed
upon impact by Ultraman while in flight.

Gavadon

First Appearance: Episode 15 "Terror of the
Cosmic Rays"

Space rays began to fall to Earth more differently and hit a
young child's graffiti. Soon, they hit his drawn kaiju, Gavadon.
The tiny monster was simply crawling around when the Science Patrol
attacked it. They blew off the tiny kaiju's tail and the creature
slowly tried to escape. Waiting for it was a line of tanks but
before anything could be done, Gavadon went to sleep. Gavadon soon
awoke and before an attack could be made, it vanished into thin
air.

With Gavadon vanished, the children began to draw a better
kaiju. The space rays once again rained down on the area and the
new Gavadon was born. Gavadon, like the original, only wanted to
sleep. People still fled from the city and those who remained
stayed in their house. Gavadon soon awoke and began to move only to
go back to sleep. The military soon moved in and targeted the
sleeping kaiju and open fired. Confused and hurt, Gavadon tried to
walk away as Hayata transformed into Ultraman. Ultraman quickly
over powered the kaiju and beat him down. Listening to the
children's cries, Ultraman took Gavadon up to space and turned the
creature into a constellation of stars for the children.

Hydra

First Appearance: Episode 20 "Terror on
Route 87"

A little boy arrives at the Science Patrol and says that an
ancient dragon named Hydra is coming. Meanwhile, the rest of the
Science Patrol is up at a mountain site investigating strange
lights that appeared at the tip of the mountain. The animals around
the tourist site begin to act weird as the Science Patrol does some
research of the child who created and imagined Hydra for the some
park. When two members reach the child's home, they get the news
that the little boy died in a car accident. Later that night the
mountain acts up again and the monster Hydra rises out. The Science
Patrol attacks it but their hand held lasers prove to do little
damage. The bird like kaiju then begins to flap its wings and heads
to the sky spewing flames from his mouth. Hydra begins a major
assault against cars and the high way before flying off again with
the Science Patrol trying to decide what to do. Hydra once again
attacks cars on the high way. The Science Patrol attacks but Hydra
takes off after them and circles above. It knocks their jet out of
the sky and Hayata is knocked out as Arashi radios back to base.
The Science Patrol manages to bust Hydra open in the chest but
Hydra advances. Just as he is about to kill Arashi, Hayata
transforms into Ultraman. Hydra tackles the hero of light but
Ultraman manages to flip him off. As the battle rages on, Ultraman
manages to get a shot of the specium ray but Hydra flies above it.
As Ultraman's warning light begins to flash, Hydra flies away with
the spirit of Akira, its creator riding on his back. Both were
never seen again afterward.

Gubira

First Appearance: Episode 24 "The Undersea
Science Center"

Gubira (グビラGubira) was a monster from the Ultraman television series.
Gubira was a semi-aquatic quadruped with a drill-like horn on its
nose. Gubira was disturbed by the construction and operation of a
new underwater research facility. Gubira did have the distinction
of being the only monster that ever caught one of Ultraman's
Ultra-Slash energy rings on its nose. Rotating its drill-like proboscis, it launched the
ring back at Ultraman, forcing him to dodge the counter-attack.
Ultraman's specium ray was more successful, killing Gubira.

Gigas

First Appearance: Episode 25 "Rogue Comet
Cyphon"

Gigas (or Gigass) was 39 meters tall and weighed 15,000 tons,
with a design and character very similar to that of the legendary
yeti. Gigas was a natural creature
who lived in the mountains of Japan until the comet Cyphon (Tsuiphon) pass close towards
Earth's orbit, causing the giant to reveal himself.

At the same time and location, the Science Patrol were searching
for six missing nuclear weapons that could accidentally go
off. After being chased by Gigas, they then encountered the comet's
own native monster Dorako. The
two monsters soon met with one another and fought for hours until a
third beast, the violent Red King, who unfortunately
has also eaten the said missing bombs, appears and easily defeats
them both. After Red King kills Dorako by tearing off his wings,
Gigas fled the scene, only to be destroyed soon afterwards by a new
weapon developed by the Science Patrol.

Woo, a monster who appears in a
later episode, is also a yeti-like mountain dweller.

Goldon (ゴルドンGorudon) - A gold-colored
monster from the Ultraman
television series, Goldon was the proverbial "monster of the mine"
(the name of the episode in English). Other than being able to
terrorize and impede gold mining operations, Goldon was a rather
unremarkable quadruped with a sauropod resemblance. The creature was so
pathetic in combat that Ultraman was able to wrap its own tail
about its neck, and for several seconds, the creature proceeded to
strangle itself. Ultraman put Goldon out of its misery with a
simple Specium Ray shot.

Skydon

First Appearance: Episode 34 "A Gift From
The Sky"

An unbelievably heavy space monster with a bloated Ankylosaurus-like
appearance, Skydon fell to Earth and quickly became an incredible
nuisance by going on brief rampages before going into narcoleptic-type naps. After a disastrous
battle with Ultraman, the Science Patrol commit a series of
attempts to send Skydon back into space. These too prove disastrous
until they succeed by filling Skydon up with helium through his tail. Unfortunately, the
Japanese air force mistakes the floating Skydon for a target
balloon and shoot the gas out of him. As Skydon falls back down,
Hayata, who at this point of the story has had enough, transforms
into Ultraman, and then simply blows up the troublesome beast while
in midair.

Skydon is very similar to two other offbeat monsters from the
series, Gabadon and Seabone, but unlike those two sympathetic
characters, Skydon is a purely comical creation who weighed a
shocking 200,000 tons, easily making him one of the heaviest
monsters in kaiju history. He
was also 196 feet in length.

First Appearance: Episode 38 "The Spaceship

While searching the planet of Kodon for life, a robotic camera
came upon a huge eye that released a bright light into the lens.
The people watching were blinded for a few minutes and soon after
wards, the Science Patrol went to Kodon to see what had caused it.
After fixing the crew of the space station that was orbiting the
planet that was also hit by the flash, they decided to land on the
planet where they witnessed a battle between Kiyla and Saigo. After
being hit by Saigo's mist, Kiyla unleashed his blinding flashes
which made Saigo flee for safety. Saigo approached the Science
Patrol's vehicle but before any damage could be dealt to them, they
managed to blow up Saigo with one of their weapons.
